Words exist in context. If I called my female boss a bitch because I perceived her as domineering or demanding, that’d be out of line. If I call someone a dumb bitch for running one of the most toxic accounts on social media posting nonsensical disinformation, that’s very different. While I understand that being called a bitch can be very hurtful, I’m not calling you one, I’m calling someone else one, so being offended on their behalf is silly. I’m not gonna censor myself because someone might have a negative association with a word. And before someone says “I’ve heard the same logic applied to the n word” cool well I’m not applying it to the n word, I already don’t say that so I don’t need to censor myself.
Just take the bitch part away and substitute it for something else like retard or the nword and think for a second how the usage of this word can still affect the broader demographic
You are missing the fact that using bitch negativrly affects all women just as the nword would negatively effect all poc. I told you to swap the word not to point out that they are the same as i said but to try to explain this simple fact. Using genderd derogetory language hurts that gender group(mainly women) just the same as using racltiolized derogetory language hurts the race it aimed at(mainly poc) i really dont think this is that hard to get :)
Or, don’t police others’ use of language when it’s not directed at you. That’s why the Republicans and trump succeeded in part, because leftists played who’s more offended and what language is allowed instead of unifying over policy, dividing the left and giving ammo to the right to make fun of people like you. You’re playing culture wars just as much as Matt Walsh spewing anti trans bullshit.
So you do understand how it can be harmfull? How hard is it then to just call her a racist freak or something non gendert that is actualy critical of her views or actions this is not “culture war bs” its js me trying to make the world a lil better :)

Bruh. Are you really gonna act like bitch is on the same level of offensiveness as the n word? You’re either being retarded or disingenuous.
Did i say bitch is on the same lvl as the nword? Please read my comment again and just try to make sense of it :)
“just take bitch out and substitute it with the N word”
The fuck am I missing? You’re directly comparing the use of the word bitch to the use of the n word. Go to therapy.
